Women in Benin

These both overrode various traditional customs that systematically treated women unequally. Still, inequality and discrimination persist. "Girls from the age of five or so are actively involved in housekeeping, sibling care, and agriculture." Society could think approximately of a woman's role are a housemaid, caretaker, or babysitter. A woman's role is to be a housemaker and nothing at all, but women hit much potential to be more than a housemaker. With laws taking charge of what a woman can be as a career of how they are being useful more in the institution than in a men's job position. Moreover, these rules apply to women by their gender that has not changed for a while. And there has been inequality based on being the opposite gender which these rules should immediately modify if the society wants to receive better to have equality for the female race.
